Blue cheese and walnut biscuits

I found a recipe for these blue cheese and walnut biscuits in December issue of Pereköök, a monthly recipe booklet of Estonian family journal Pere ja Kodu. They were really simple to make and delicious, and went very well with glög/mulled wine:) These are a lovely addition to my cheesy feet biscuits.

Chop butter, flour and salt into crumbs, add chopped blue cheese and mix into a dough (if the dough feels to greasy, add a bit more flour).Add the nuts, knead a bit and form into 2 rolls (3 cm diameter). Wrap into a clingfilm and put into a fridge for at least an hour.Cut each roll into 5 mm discs and put these onto a baking tray. Bake at 175˚C for 12-15 minutes, until they are light golden (do NOT let them go brown, as cheese goes bitter).

These biscuits keep for a week in an airtight container (in theory. We finished them straight away).

Hi Pille, welcome back ! I trust you have had a great time back home. I will definitely try this recipe. And I will soon post about a Greek Feta & Walnut Biscuit. Maybe something for you... Have a good time, angelika

Zoubida - I hope your boy likes these. And they are easy enough to make, so maybe he'll have a go himself?!

Stephanie - you're welcome!

Angelika - mmmm - Greek Feta & Walnut Biscuits. Sound absolutely delicious. I have some feta and walnuts at home at the moment, so your recipe would be very much appreciated:)

J - these were delicious! I've made them twice now - once with a strong cheap supermarket blue cheese (can't even think of a brand, sorry) and once with Cachel Blue. Both were equally tasty.

Paz - well, if you like the sound of the recipe, then you probably should also see how they taste:)

Manne - I'm glad you tried and liked these, though sorry about the spreading. My dough was quite hard and as I sliced and baked it straight from the freezer, they didn't spread at all. Well, almost not at all. But thanks for the tip - I'll mention it next time.
